Beef Wellington Empanada
Beef Wellington is a nice cut of meat, usually a fillet steak, beef tenderloin, or filet mignon. It uses the center-cut portion of the meat that is known to be the most tender and juicy part of the cow.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
6 to 8 crimini mushrooms or button mushrooms, sliced
½ teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Sea salt

1 (1-pound) trimmed beef tenderloin, cut into 24 cubes (about 3/4 inch each)
Glazed balsamic vinegar
⅓ cup Boursin cheese

Whisk together egg and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl.
Roll 1 puff pastry sheet into a on a lightly floured work surface.
Cut into 12 (3-inch) squares. Arrange 1 beef cube in the center of each pastry square, and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt.
Top each beef cube with about 1 tablespoon Boursin cheese and 4 mushroom slice.
Brush edges of pastry squares with egg mixture.
Fold dough corners over filling in the center to make a packet, pinching to seal.
